Rear Wheel Width?
I'm looking to get some new wheels for my 2001 Z28 to improve appearance and performance. I'm planning on getting 18's. What is the widest I should go in the rear to get the best traction without compromising overall fit??? ...what tire sizes would work best too?
Thanks all! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: Rear Wheel Width?
Thanks for the feedback. I'd prefer not to have to use a spacer, so I've decided to get 18x9.5" for the front and 18x10.5" for the rear.
